How Did We Get Into This Financial Mess?

Written by Gilberto J Perera in News, Video | no responses


The other night I found myself quite disturbed after watching this segment on CBS News, at the same time I felt that the way Jim Grant (the first gentleman interviewed) described the "Shadow Market" warranted the title of an article/video that fits the "for the Rest of Us" approach that I subscribe to on this site and for that reason it was posted here for readers to view.

A lot of people are wondering how this all began and why it seems that it is all collapsing. I am fully aware that there are other factors that have contributed to the recent crisis, but I felt this is one of those factors/reasons that is not fully understood. What do you think?

Your comments and thoughts are welcome.

Note: I discourage users from using keywords in their names when posting comments, most of those are caught as spam and end up being deleted. It would be more productive and interactive if commentators use the name they go by rather than using an unrelated name. In the future I reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
